My Drupal (4.4.1) site doesn't allow individual blogs... I've disabled the module. All users can create stories, however, and place them anywhere on the site, within pretty large vocabularies.

Is it possible to use the blogAPI module, even without the use of blogs? Being able to use tools like w.bloggar and others would be terrific. But when I test them out (enabling blogs for testing only), they look for a user's individual blog, not the site in general.

Also, they automatically post "personal blog entry" node types, I'd want them to post "story" nodes.

If it is possible to modify/patch blogapi.module to handle this, please help me out. Thanks! (Currently running 4.4.1)

p.s. even within the blog module, I am having problems with w.bloggar handling categories... I've started to receive "only one top-level element is allowed in an XML document" errors. Any ideas??

There is a patch here to extend blogapi posting to story and page nodes.

Actually I also modified blogapi.module as well to get it to work. My changes to the module are rather specific to the needs of my site (all posts through the API are now stories, not blogs) so I didn't submit a patch, but the changes were not a big deal.

What was your change? I am interested to do this as well.
